Rita Barbour Kern Masterworks
One hundred seventy-six years before the scandalous premiere of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, composer Jean-Féry Rebel was indeed rebelling against the baroque style with his cacophony of dense chords that turned chaos into the creation of the world around us. John Tavener’s Eternity’s Sunrise provides a moment of calm before Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring.
